Supporting transgender rights has really opened my eyes to how important it is for everyone to be true to who they are.

It’s about letting people live their lives as the gender they feel inside, not just what they were assigned when they were born. Respect and making sure people can be themselves without facing hate or discrimination.

I think the idea of being transracial is just like being transgender. It’s that simple.

If we say it’s okay for someone to live as a different gender, why can’t the same idea apply to race?

I mean, both gender and race are things that society made up to categorize people. If someone feels deep down that they belong to a different racial group, shouldn’t we respect that feeling too?

This isn’t about making light of what transgender or racial minority groups go through.

It’s just about asking if we can extend the same understanding and acceptance to others who feel their identity is different from what society expects. It’s about having empathy and keeping an open mind.

It’s all about finding that balance and learning from each other.

Identity is personal. Respect is universal!

    Relating transracialism to transgenderism is more of an indictment of transgenderism than validation of anything.

      I disagree. Both concepts involve personal identity and the struggle for societal acceptance, and dismissing one as invalid downplays the complex feelings of identity issues that some people face.

        We may identify ourselves to others, but the idea of a “personal identity” is pretty masturbatory. Others identify us as they perceive us, and by our behaviour. I don’t subscribe to the idea of appropriation of cultures being disrespectful, since anyone could learn from anyone. But I draw the line at “I am” something you’re not.

    Check out OP’s comment history. They’re claiming to be a socialist while endlessly spamming divisive identity politics, never mentioning fiscal class or the means of change, being consistently downvoted by everyone, and never asking why or adapting. Someone follow them around, shallowly agree with them, and present facets of ancap ideology as a means to authoritarian incarnation of communism, while calling it socialism. We could take bets on how long until their head explodes.q

      Weird how you forgot to mention that I created and moderate two socialist subs and that the vast majority of my posts are socialist posts. And that I also created and moderate a politics sub where several different political views get posted, including Democrat, Republican, Green, and Socialist.

      And that I oversee an official Socialist Workers Party X.com (formally called twitter) account. As well as one on Mastadon.

      Why did you forget to mention that in your little rant? That’s ok, I’ll help everyone out by linking them!

      So why did you not mention all that info?

      Ohhhhh! It’s because you are a capitalist bootlicker, addicted to the Duopoly and you’re trying to to sow confusion. And I don’t fit your made-up narrative.

      That’s ok, my post history is public and I just provided links. Thanks for the attention, friend! Now even more people can see what I post. This is awesome! :)

        The total comment count from all the subs you created is 309. You made roughly 99% of the posts and over 81% of the comments. Language analysis shows you’re also responding to yourself on alts constituting roughly 16% of the remainder. There’s net negative karma for both posts and comments.

        You’ve tried to manufacture importance. But, it’s such a shallow and poorly constructed fascade I dismantled it with two basic tools and five minutes.

        Your identity and self worth are wrapped up in this mess. But, you didn’t do the homework, at all: Your content is devoid of ideological substance. You’ve no business moderating anything as you can’t care for yourself.

        You’re not going to break out of this cycle without professional help. That process will be hard work as it’ll not only be truth, but truth of self. If you manage progress and come out the other side honest, if you begin to place others before self, then others will love you IRL and there won’t be a gigantic hole in your heart that needs filled daily with online nonsense. Life will become much easier and much happier.

        All I can do for you is plant the seed.

        Best of luck.
